Kennel tech for 2 years
Pet care experience
I have owned every animal under the sun and feel comfortable handling them all. I have been petsitting for about 16 years and worked as a kennel technician for 2. I also have basic animal emergency health knowledge as well as training in regards to behavior. I currently have a part time job with very flexible hours. I am away from home no more than 4 hours at a time. And work max 3 days a week. I am mostly a freelance artist with a lot of spare time. I have a wide open grassy field next to my apartment that I walk my dog around. The cat has free roam of the house. I also have access to a dog park and lots of walking trails. My car is equipped with doggy seatbelts, for easy and safe transportation
Reviews
Gus and Jax were well taken care of and Maggie did a great job!
Maggie loves pets! She has cared for my dogs and cats often and is conscientious and knowledgeable about animal care and behavior. I trust her with my `kids` and have had no problems at all while they have been in her good hands.

I have an apartment that me and my dog go on as many walks as possible. He is crate trained but very well behaved so hes allowed outside of it while im gone. We love to go on car rides to parks and the river. My cat is very indepedent. She has a lots of shelves she lounges on and shows up when she wants affection. For clients I try and continue that same level of care. If owner is willing i will happily take their dog to the dog park or on a hike, i have a doggy car seat for safe travels. And I know how important it is to just spend quality time with them
Home
Information Maggie V. would like to know about your pet
Behavior issues aka food aggression, whether they tear up shoes clothes pillows etc. I would also like to know if they are spayed or neutered or not, as well as if they are friendly toward strangers and or other dogs.
A typical day
Depending on the needs of the individual animal i take them out as soon as i walk in. We go for at least a 30 minute walk, longer if my schedule allows. My dog has no idea how to play with toys but i would to play catch or play with their other fun toys. I live in churchhill so not only is it beautiful but there are several beautiful parks to walk through

Availability
I work a part time job about 30 minutes from my home so sometimes i will have to stop by extra early like 5 am and latest 12pm. Due to the fact that i have my own pets that need attention i can only stay the night at your home for more than a day, if needed longer request several weeks ahead of time and i can take off work. The days and hours i work are completely random however given a 2 week notice i can take a day off if needed. I make it a priority to visit them first thing when i get off work. I currently freelance paint so i do have quite a few days off to dedicate to spending time with them.
